Hi! I'm Hamilton - a Technomancer building Atomic Systems. Welcome to my Digital Garden.
I build atomic systems and share my learnings on my blog, YouTube, and podcast. I've been a Software Engineer since 2017 - currently at Vanta, previously Instagram / Rippling / MasterCard.
Now
- Being a dad
- Agentically engineering at Vanta
- Editing videos with QuietCut
For more details checkout my latest reflection.
Projects
I build atomic simple scalable systems for fun and profit. Lately I've been leaning into high-level Rust and agentic engineering.
- CloudSeed Rust - Fullstack Rust webapp boilerplate. I use this to start all my web projects - it saves me from re-scaffolding the same routing, data, and auth layers each time and I am confident it works vs relying on AI generations.
- QuietCut - A CLI that removes silence from your videos. I built it to cut the dead air from my single-take YouTube videos after moving to Linux left me without my usual editing software.
Experiments
Small games and toys I build for fun, mostly on my Labs server.
- Spend Elon Musk's Money - A game where you try to blow through Elon Musk's fortune.
- AI Token Clicker - An incremental game about burning as many tokens as you can.
- GoodReads Reading Dashboard - Turns your GoodReads export into a dashboard of reading stats.
Writing
I write about my builds and learnings.
